The Trojan War
Children & Young Adult, Children's Books, Children's Books Age 10+, Children's Books History
Aphrodite was the cause of it all. She promised Paris, the son of the Trojan king, the most beautiful woman in the world after he finds the infamous golden apple. But the most beautiful woman is Helen of Sparta, and Paris abducts her to the town of Troy. Paul Hühnerfeld succeeds in turning this ancient, complicated saga into a vivid story for children above ten. He does so with wit and charm, yet without straying from the original text. He reports about the Trojan War, Helen, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Paris and, most important of all, Ulysses' Trojan Horse, with which the Greeks finally enter the town of Troy after ten years of fighting.
